The Aristos Athletics website and plan builder (the "Service") is operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME], [ENTITY TYPE — e.g. a Delaware limited liability company], of [REGISTERED ADDRESS] ("we", "us", "our"). You can reach us at [SUPPORT EMAIL].
These Terms form a binding agreement between you and us. By creating an account, subscribing or using the Service you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the Service.
This section matters more than any other, because much of our audience is under 18.
The Service is not available to anyone under 13. We do not knowingly create accounts for, collect personal information from, or provide training plans to children under 13. If we learn that we hold information belonging to a child under 13 we will delete it promptly. If you believe a child under 13 has given us information, contact [SUPPORT EMAIL].
The Service is a self-directed tool, not coaching, so an athlete aged 13–17 may create and hold their own account. When they do, they must:
An under-18 account cannot subscribe or be charged. A minor cannot enter a binding payment contract, so paid membership must be taken out by an adult on their own account. An under-18 account can use the Service without a subscription for as long as we offer it that way.
A parent or guardian may at any time contact us at [SUPPORT EMAIL] to review what the account holds, correct it, close the account, or withdraw approval — and we will act on that request without needing the athlete's agreement.
A parent or guardian may instead create and hold the account themselves. In that case the guardian is the contracting party, is the named subscriber and payer, is responsible for all activity on the account, and may withdraw consent and close it at any time.
If you use the Service in connection with athletes you coach, you confirm you have the authority to do so and that you — not us — are responsible for supervising those athletes, obtaining any consents your school, club or governing body requires, and complying with the rules of any association you belong to.
The Service is a self-directed training-information tool. It generates suggested training structures from information you enter. It is educational and informational in nature.
The Service is not:
No individual reviews your plan before it is generated. Outputs are produced by software and by an automated assistant, which can be wrong, incomplete or unsuitable for you.
Distance running at the volumes and intensities described in this Service carries real risk of injury and, in rare cases, serious harm. Read this section carefully.
You confirm that you (or, for a minor, the athlete you are responsible for) are in good health and medically cleared for vigorous endurance exercise. Consult a qualified physician before beginning, changing or increasing any training programme, particularly if there is any history of cardiac, respiratory, metabolic or musculoskeletal problems, stress fracture, disordered eating, low energy availability, amenorrhoea, concussion, pregnancy, or if the athlete is under 18 and still growing.
Stop immediately and seek medical attention for chest pain, breathing difficulty, dizziness or fainting, an irregular heartbeat, sudden or localised bone pain, heat illness, or any pain that changes your running form. Never train through pain because a plan says to. The plan does not know how you feel and cannot see you.
The Service discusses fueling and bone health in general educational terms. It is not a diet plan, does not prescribe individual intakes, and must not be used to restrict energy intake or manage body weight. Under-fueling — especially in adolescent athletes — is dangerous and can cause lasting harm to bone, hormonal and cardiac health. Suspected disordered eating or low energy availability needs a physician and a registered dietitian, not a training plan. If you need help now, contact a medical professional or a local support service such as [LOCAL HELPLINE / RESOURCE].
The Service may suggest overdressed running to prepare for competition in heat. Heat training carries additional risk including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Do not do it without medical clearance, adequate fluid and someone knowing where you are, and never in a way that a supervising adult has not approved for a minor.
You understand and voluntarily accept the risks inherent in endurance training, including overuse and acute injury, stress fracture, heat and cold illness, cardiac events, road and traffic hazards, and the risk of training in unsupervised environments. You accept these risks for yourself and, if applicable, on behalf of the minor for whom you are responsible. To the fullest extent permitted by law you agree to assume those risks and not to hold us responsible for them.
Note for the operator: an assumption-of-risk clause in online terms is materially weaker than a properly executed waiver, and in many jurisdictions a parent cannot fully waive a minor's own future claims. See the liability guidance you were given separately.
Do not:
The Service, its content, the training system it encodes, and its software are owned by us or our licensors. You get a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service and to use the plans it generates for your own training or the training of an athlete you are responsible for. You keep ownership of the data you enter. You grant us a licence to process it in order to operate the Service.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or that use of it will improve performance or avoid injury.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, nor for lost performance, lost opportunity, lost competition results, or injury arising from your voluntary participation in training.
Our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the total amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) US$100.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — including liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for any consumer rights that cannot be waived in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Service, or your use of the Service to instruct another person's training.
We use it to run the Service, generate your plan, take payment, provide support, and keep the Service secure. Where you use the coaching assistant, the plan summary and your question are sent to our AI provider to generate a reply. Do not enter medical information, and do not enter another person's personal information.
Where an account covers an athlete aged 13–17, the guardian may review, correct or delete the athlete's information at any time, and may refuse further collection, by contacting [SUPPORT EMAIL]. We collect only what the plan needs.
We keep account and training data while the account is active and for [RETENTION PERIOD] after closure, then delete or anonymise it. We share data only with processors who help us run the Service — [HOSTING], [PAYMENT PROCESSOR], [AI PROVIDER], [EMAIL PROVIDER] — and where the law requires it. Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, delete, port or object to the processing of your data. Contact [SUPPORT EMAIL] and we will respond within the time the law allows.
